<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>


function setcountdown(theyear,themonth,theday,thehour,themin,thesec){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday;hr=thehour;min=themin;sec=thesec
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE COUNTDOWN SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the countdown-to date, in the format year, month, day, hour(0=midnight,23=11pm), minutes, seconds:
setcountdown(2003,01,08,00,00,00)

//STEP 2: Change the two text below to reflect the occasion, and message to display on that occasion, respectively
var occasion=&quot;<br>Snart tävling...&quot;
var message_on_occasion=&quot;<b>Tävlingen är igång!</b>&quot;

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countdown area
var countdownwidth='140px'
var countdownheight='140px'
var countdownbgcolor=''
var opentags='<font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;><small>'
var closetags='</small></font>'

//////////DO NOT EDIT PAST THIS LINE//////////////////

in order to get the server time you will need to incorpurate some server side scripting in it. at that point all you need to due is declare the var with the value
ASP example
var myDate = &quot;<%now%>&quot; ---------------------------------------
{ str = &quot;sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function&quot;;
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,&quot;coffee&quot;alert(Nstr); }
